Vegas Market Sneak Peek For Bedding Industries of America with Steve Karns & Stuart Carlitz: Episode 103

Steve Karns is the VP of Sales and Business Development for Bedding Industries of America. Steve is an industry veteran with more than forty years of experience. Steve is well known for his knowledge of the mattress industry and his business acumen. He is a people person who is universally admired by everyone. 

 

Stu Carlitz began his lifelong career in the mattress industry as a high school student working in a Serta factory in Pennsauken, New Jersey. Next, he became a sales representative in the early 1980s for Therapedic Sleep Products of New Jersey. Several years later, Carlitz opened his own factory in the Philadelphia area, and, in 1994, merged it with Therapedic Sleep Products of New Jersey. He later formed the Mattress Development Co., which acquired Eclipse in 1999.

 

Today, Carlitz owns a 125,000-square-foot factory in North Brunswick, New Jersey, that is known corporately as Bedding Industries of America. The BIA plant is the largest licensee of Eclipse International and produces several other bedding brands, including Eastman House, Ernest Hemingway and Therapedic. He also manages the manufacturing network for the Saatva brand.

 

“Stu Carlitz is the classic example of what hard work, dedication and a burning desire to learn can accomplish,” said Ron Cooper, president of GMFA. “He started out sweeping factory floors as a teenager and now owns one of the biggest bedding manufacturers in the business. His impact on the industry is being felt far beyond the Philadelphia area where he got his start.”
